Where In The World...

@ Smerf

Scotland is located in a small hamlet in the southern most tip of Ireland, which in turn is located in an ashtray at the end of a public bar in Wales, all of which of course are located in an old ladies flowerpot somewhere in England which just so happens to be floating above the Isle of Wight right now...

@ MrMoonlight

On the train journey back home, my dad traded his piece of goalpost for a bit a the hallowed turf, which took pride of place in my mums back garden for many years. Unfortunately the weeds eventually took over and no-one could ever quite remember exactly which part of mums back garden was that wee bit of Wembly...

2) Scandinavia
3) Europe

Finland is not part of Scandinavia, so I have to choose Europe. Perhaps "Nordic countries" would have been more suitable?

As I said at the start of the thread I didn't have enough options to cover everything (10 Max) but you're right "Nordic Countries" may have been a better choice of words...

The atlas of the the world sure has changed since I was at School many old countries have either disappeared or split up or changed name since I passed my geography O'level (especially the European ones), still at the end of the day we all have one thing in common, were all Citizens Of The 3rd Rock From The Sun...

Czech Republic, which a lot of people think is a part of eastern Europe, while we proudly consider our country the heart of it. Not that it matters, though, we're basically one of those shitty small post-communist EU countries living off the rich and generous Germany, France, Benelux, UK etc etc.... :-)

Definetly central Europe in my view.

The term "eastern Europe" is still largely associated with countries that were part of the Warszawa pact + Jugoslavia. Or alternatively, any country with slavic speaking population + the Baltics, Hungary, Romania, and eastern Germany ofcourse.

What i find amusing is that there are still alot of people who say "Czechoslovakia"

Hmm... Spain is in theory part of Europe... So I guess I'm at Europe, but I don't believe It too much...



For me UK is a lot more European than Spain...

In theory not, is europe, europe isnt a way of life or some romantic ideas, its just a continent with many cultures, then you are a bit wrong.

Im from finland (but i live in spain) but i choose europe too not scandinavia.

Croatia, true Amiga country.

Uh oh... those Europeans have taken the lead even over the good ole boys from the U S of  A, with us Euro Sceptics in the UK taking bronze as usual, still at least we're doing better than the colonists in down under land... :laughing:

That shouldn't be the case as more Amiga's were sold in the UK, but maybe their not as active as the rest of Europe.

I know, but when the EU opened all it's borders there were a quite a number of Polish folk who came to work here and one thing I noticed as I made friends with quite a number of them, is that they would buy any Amiga hardware they could as well as stuff like mobile phones and send or take it back home to Poland with them.

From the Polish friends that I made, it would seem that there is quite a big Amiga Scene in Poland these days, could be one of the reasons why the UK doesn't have so many now, the UK users sold all their Amiga hardware just to make a quick buck and now there having to buy it back via ebay...

There's been an active Amiga scene in Poland for some time.... I recently got a USB-to-Amiga mouse adapter made in Poland.... not to mention countless software titles... (And Poland makes fabulous cookies/desserts
